Creative Use in the Laundry RoomWe are using this desk top as a topper for our new front loading washer/dryer. It gives us a workspace for folding clothes. It's a perfect fit across the top of our LG washer/dryer. We just added thick, self adhesive rubber pads (like for furniture) at strategic spots around the outside edge of the bottom of the desk top and it sits perfectly with no slipping.

MISLEADING ASSEMBLYThe desk is lovely, however, neither the website nor the salesperson at the store inform the customer that THE DESKTOP DOES NOT HAVE PRE-DRILLED HOLES. Customers should be informed that, once delivered, assembly will require the customer to align and drill the legs on their own. I strongly suggest that The Container Store identify this factor clearly on its website.

Great purchaseI bought this desk top to create an office space in the kitchen overlooking the garden of my new home. Since I wasn't sure this would work, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I purchased this top to blend with the kitchen cabinets and attached the gray legs to match the appliances. It was easy to put together and it looks great! I love looking out to the garden as I work.

Crafts containedI used this across the top of three Elfa stacked drawers as shown in the mesh craft wall. The drawers hold a large amount of stuff and I was able to gather craft items from several locations and consolidate.The desk top makes a great work surface! I find the website a little challenging to navigate. I have to study it for a long time before placing an order. It seems like there might be some place on the website to actually list exactly what components go into each Elfa set up.

Great Looking DeskWe have the Sycamore desk top and several shelves in the corner of our living room. The space serves as a workspace/computer area, but we didn't want it to look too much like an office. The desk is very low profile and ties in well with the shelves to look more like a shelving unit than a bulky office desk. It has a larger surface area and I love that it is totally adjustable/customizable.

Relatively low cost table; difficult to assembleThis is the 2nd such table we have bought. One is being used as a laundry folding table and one in a home office. The metal legs and melamine top work well for these purposes; however the table legs are difficult to attach since they require drilling holes for the screws and there are NO markings on the table. Since the table top is not solid wood, any mistake could ruin the table. The Container Store should have markings added at a minimum or have pre-drilled holes on table before sale.

Pretty, but that's about it...There's a lot of complaint of the desk not having pre-drilled holes. That becomes a problem when the desk decides to chip. This stuff, is not the most durable particleboard I've seen. I have the veneer chip on the top as well. So I actually have a leg with one screw that wont fit in because it not only stripped the hole, but also took some of the particle board with it.
Cosmetically it looks great, it's wobbly though, probably from the legs only having 3 points to stabilize from. If you move it, take care because the legs bend a bit with only 3 points of solder on it.
However, it looks great, and despite the wobbly, chipping particle board veneer.

Simple, sturdy deskI was looking for a basic white desk, and this does the trick. I did panic at first when it arrived and I found it doesn't have predrilled holes for the screws. I was able to assemble the desk without a drill, using the supplied screws and a hammer to create pilot holes. A very helpful Container Store customer service rep helped with this. I assembled it by myself (one not-very-handy woman) and did fine. It is on the heavy side, so unless you've been going to the gym, probably better to have a second set of hands.

Desk TopI purchased this top in sycamore with the white legs to be used as a computer desk. Very sturdy though the top had some dings coming out of the box. Love the color, a good value for the price.

Elfa flexibility is always usefulOver several decades and 8 moves, I have mixed and matched the varied elfa parts for use in work and home situations. I delight in results of every new reconfiguation, as my need is always met. This new elfa Melamine Desk Top (white to coordinate with all my other elfa tops) and a pair of new elfa desk legs balanced by an old file cabinet on the other end and (by the legs) an old rolling elfa file cart all create a fantastically efficient working area with a tiny spatial footprint. With careful measurements and Container Store information, elfa never disappoints!

Great desktopBought this white melamine item as a desktop to serve as a bridge over two short filing cabinets. It was well-packaged and despite some challenges to the packaging en route, the item inside was unhurt. It is sturdy and attractive. It took two of us to get it in the house, unpackage it, and place it. But, it is now planted and works great. It's a nice large surface for many uses.

Great Family DeskAbsolutely great product. Heavy and substantial feeling. Only didn't give 5 stars because I had to drill pilot holes myself for the legs. Perhaps some people need the in tact top but would have been easier for me if either holes were there or CS offered to drill them for me before leaving the store,

Melamine DesktopI absolutely love the desktop that I ordered from the Container store. My husband added what I needed and I bought two (2drawer) file cabinets for the legs and I have the right size desk I now need. Great idea to be able to choose your own pieces to make it the way you want it.

Desk TopI have had my Elfa desk for probably about 9 years and it's still in great condition. I love it so much, I have moved several times and it's been very easy to move. I have the white top and it's still in great shape that I won't allow myself to get the Zabra wood top though I'd love to I have to be practical. I moved back to my birthplace and there is no Container Store here. I miss it so much, I used to go in there once a week when I lived in Ft Worth!
Are the 24" deep desk tops compatible with the free standing options?
Asked by: LG24
I used the desktops with legs and file cabinets to create two free standing desks and additional counter space for printers, office equipment and workspace. We have an L shaped work space with two desk tops on one wall and 1.5 desk tops on the other. I cut the .5 desk top myself with a skill saw and used duct tape over the cut line to minimize chipping of melamine. Worked perfectly. The work space perfectly matches the shelving we installed in the office space 7 years ago .

Are the leg holes pre-drilled?
Are the holes pre-drilled so that it is easy to attach the legs that go with this desktop?
Asked by: Snoopy123
No they are not, but it was quite easy to drill them. I placed my legs 1" in from each side but they are undrilled so that you can decide where you need the legs.
